Why Solar?

Solar electric systems are clean, reliable systems that produce electricity from the sun. Most systems meet 70-110% of their client's annual electric needs, and in addition to being an important step towards sustainability, they provide both a security against future energy prices and a good investment.

Solar Photovoltaic & Solar Panel Options

The two most common types of solar electric systems are grid-connected only systems, and grid-connected critical load battery backup systems.

Both systems interconnect into your home's electrical system through a subpanel or main service panel.

The electricity generated by these systems is used to meet your own home's needs first, and then any extra is fed back to the utility for full retail credit under New York's net-metering laws.

Grid-connected-only systems do not operate in the event of a utility power outage.

Grid-connected critical load battery back-up systems, on the other hand, allow the solar electric system to continue to work during utility outages. The purpose of these systems is to allow the solar electric system to act like a generator during grid-failure. Grid-connected critical load battery back-up systems are still grid-connected and take advantage of net-metering.
